After all, inJane theVirgin‘s shocking season 4 finale, [SPOILER ALERT] Jane found herself back in her never-ending love triangle, with the apparent return of her presumed-dead husband, Michael (Brett Dier) — right as Mateo’s father and boyfriend Rafael (Justin Baldoni) was getting ready to propose! (“I know, right?“)
Meanwhile,Jane the Virgin‘s spinoff — titledJane the Novela —will see Rodriguez as Jane stepping into the narrator role, as she tells the stories of her fictional romance novels.
Its first installment takes place at a Napa Valley vineyard, according toVariety, where “family secrets – and family members – don’t stay buried for long.”
Rodriguez has a slew of projects coming up, including the big screen action flickMiss Bala(in theaters Feb. 1). She’s also voicing Carmen in the streaming giant’s reboot ofCarmen Sandiego
Jane the Virginreturns for its fifth and final season on March 27.
Urman toldEntertainment Weeklythat Michael’s returnhelped bring the series “full circle” for its final chapter.
“The return of this character felt right thematically in terms of where we wanted to go, in terms of a return to this central love triangle that was so important to the show for so long,” Urman said. “And now everybody is in really different places.”
The showrunner also enjoyed watching her cast react to the surprise.
“We didn’t give out the last page of the script and had Brett secretly come to the table read,” Urman toldEW. “And in a very dramatic moment, when we got to the end, I opened the door and he came into the table read and people jumped up and were screaming. It was really fun. It felt very spy-esque but we redacted the pages.”
